What would you do if you could make and be the head of your own anime studio?

probably would blow a considerable amount of money on an original yuri sci fi action series, tbh.

if there were any money left make a School Zone Girls anime.

I would make it my company's mission statement to emulate the works of Gainax, Sunrise, and Bones.

Specifically, every staff member would be required to watch Gunbuster, Nadia, Evangelion, FLCL, Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne, Gundam (OG, Zeta, 8th MS Team, X, 0083, Turn A, and G), Wolf's Rain, and Fullmetal Alchemist (either one, preferably both).

And then they would all be forced to play Xenogears to completion.

Strict focus will be placed on atmosphere, tone, epic scale, and pacing.
Wow, that's quite the requirements... any specific reasons for why all these anime in particular?

They all have the narrative and aesthetic style and atmosphere that I crave dearly. Simple as that.

And now that I'm thinking about it, lump in Final Fantasy Tactics along with the Xenogears requirement. Same deal.

Honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been a Yu-Gi-Oh series with a female main protagonist.
And what is it about those movies that you like that you'd like to emulate in some way? :)

Well, suppose you had the funds and talent... what are some of those ideas?

That's the thing, I would produce stuff which I would enjoy personally...which means very few will watch, which means those projects would be doomed.

Some examples:
  • Making a contract with Tokine to produce a full (at least two cours) Touhou Niji Sousaku series in the style of Musou Kakyou, which means kind of slow, dream-like and moody fantasy mystery with some intense action moments here and there.
    Another series in the same universe in the style of Gensou Mangekyou: The Memories of Phantasm would be good too, which means more action oriented...but I think the current production is doing well albeit slow. A remake + conclusion maybe?
  • Detective shows in the style of Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo but set in the 20s with problems modern teens have and which can drive them to commit murder. The Puppeteer From Hell would be a vloger/streamer or something.
  • Modernized seinen remake of Sabu to Ichi Torimono Hikae. Something like Onihei but done right, with less melodrama and with more adventures.
  • Space operas in the style of Planetes focused on plausible scenarios about humanity going in space.
  • Fantasy shows taking place in ancient Japan and based on japanese folklore. Shows like Dororo (2019) but visually consistent and less episodic.
  • And of course I have dreamed for a long time about anime adaptions of Stand Still. Stay Silent - https://sssscomic.com/ , Girl Genius - https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20021104 and Gaia - http://www.sandraandwoo.com/gaia/2011/11/01/cover/

Stuff like that.
Ah, so you and I are the same in that way, meaning we both have very niche interests that we want to see more of. Well I dunno, some of those ideas do sound interesting, might work if you establish the studio first with something more financially viable/secure, like riding a bit on trends.

I would want to make anime movies that serve as sequels to already existing shows and some manga adaptations as well. I'm surprised Digital Frontier didn't do any follow-up to their Gantz movie, although it's like I'm assuming it did well at the box office so who knows? Getting all of Gantz animated would be crazy fun but I certainly wouldn't know how to handle all the nudity from the last arc and the instance of blackface. Getting the same style as Junichiro Taniguchi who did the character design for Doga Kobo's IWGP and Sing Yesterday for Me, I just like the way they look (would look good on a Drops of God adaptation, maybe?).

Movies adapting what's left from the Kaiji manga before part 6, and a Terra Formars S2 remake or sequel movies to the first season. Limited series on what remains of the Hunter x Hunter unadapted manga chapters.

Essentially, really wishful thinking, imagining I could manage as the head of a studio and that it'll even be well animated.

Question,
Since you're running a studio( hypothetically) how would you be able to manage sustainable financing and income to first of all achieve making all the anime you want in the way you want to make it and secondly, keep your studio running meeting its monetary needs ?
Dreaming is fun but let's also not forget to be realistic here, 90 percent of us aren't capable of running a company ,studio or anything for that matter.
Being a studio head doesn't mean you just do anything you want, sacrificing manpower and resources.
Aren't production committees normally the ones who choose the anime for studios to make?
The anime industry like any other industry is driven by profit motive and money.
Also how would you recruit talent ? You'd have to work towards making your studio attractive as heck and hope investors throw enough money at you constantly to make even an episode.

I know this is useless rambling on my part but I'm quite annoyed today and I needed to vent it all out out on something so this thread was perfect.

I apologize.

No need to apologize, in fact a post like yours is exactly the kind of post this thread needs! :D

To be completely honest, I don't really know much about how the financial side of running a studio works. But you are right that it is important to be realistic when it comes to big things such as running a company. The hypothetical situation I had in mind for this thread's topic while making it would be after building up your work as an animator. You start off in the lower side of the animation industry, doing little work like freelance, in-between, key, and other stuff, and slowly building your way up to character designer, director, and those kinds of jobs. Eventually you might be so successful in these kinds of animation jobs that you can try and appeal to people in bringing them along into making a new studio, like several beloved industry veterans have in real life with studios like Ghibli, Ponoc, Chizu, and Khara. So the situation I was thinking of isn't as completely unrealistic as many may think like just randomly going to Japan and making a studio out of nothing; it's about building up that clout first and learning a decent amount of animation first.

It's true that it seems to be production committees who primarily get to decide adaptations, but then again my only source for that is Shirobako lol.

Thank you for your supposed "useless" rambling, if you know more about how an anime studio works then PLEASE DO share your knowledge!

BITCH, SHUT YO ASS UP XD
Do you got years of learning, studying, and training under your belt to be the head director of a studio? Shiiiiiiiiiiiit. Are you a master artist that knows how to make the perfect animation? Legit, most skilled artists don't even know how to do motion, let alone trying to manage a whole ass team of people to be in charge of just that.
Not to mention taking care of the music composition, script, voice actors, etc.
People put their lives into their work and have become legends in the anime community, like Tetsurou Araki, Hayao Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai, etc. Yet have they ever made "the perfect" anime?
Bitch, shut yo ass up x) I bet you don't even know a single ounce of Japanese to communicate with the cast.
Legit, the cast will be doing the directing while everyone here be sitting in the corner.
Who knows, maybe you'll be the head of your own water boy business in the studio to get people water -_-

Even if you put 5 years into learning, the chances of a making a "good" anime, let alone a noticeable one would be the most unrealistic thing.
There's no such thing in making a perfect anime, cause the people making them aren't perfect.

But say I was at the same level of Tetsurou Araki or something, then I have a couple things in mind, though nothing too crazy. But I'm the type of guy who will take years to try and perfect something before releasing it, so it would take a long time sinse I do want pretty much everything to be exceptional.
This is it fam, I had the same thoughts to all the degenerates who said they can make a perfect anime lmfao.

First I would move the studio to Europe and get culture funds from EU. Financial problems solved. Though this would mean no lolis as they'd remove funds in such cases.

I'd continue the WMT theater series. I'd contact Astrid Lindgren foundation and make a proper adaptation out of Pippi Longstocking, without the complaints she had in the 70s

I'd adapt other books too for kids, both new and old.

50 episodes minimum. Series based on real characters.

a side series could include fantasy novels too.

I'd also expand it to Adult Masterpiece Theater. Adaptations of adult novels , 50 episode length.

no anime character tropes. as realistic as possible.

First, I hire someone who actually knows how to do the job for me, and tell them to maximize profits by adapting the most insipid and artistically devoid of merit isekai, CGDCT, and shonen manga/LNs they can get their hands on. But also tell them to make sure the staff is well-salaried, not overworked, and has a pleasant work environment, because I’m all for capitalizing on people’s lack of standards, but I’m not about that worker exploitation shit.

Then I enjoy the steady flow of passive income for a while, and when the studio has established itself enough, I’d indulge in some wish fulfillment. I very rarely read manga/LNs myself, so I don’t have too much to say as to what I’d adapt from there; I’d especially like to see Baccano and Bloom Into You’s adaptations finished, though, so those would be a high priority. I’d also make sure Great Pretender gets a continuation, and probably invest in a prequel for Granbelm if I thought the studio could take what admittedly would probably be a financial loss. Basically, I’d just go all-out on giving my favorite shows special treatment.

Afterwards, I’d like to try to write an original story of my own and have it produced as an anime. I can say I have zero experience with writing a story; fantasizing about writing a story, I’m a seasoned veteran at, but I’ve never actually put one to paper, so I imagine the result would be… questionable, but it would still be incredibly fun to try knowing I’d be able to see the result in animated form, the way I picture it in my head. I’d like to try doing a shoujo-ai, historical fantasy, or spy story.

If my studio still exists at this point, then I basically go back to enjoying the steady stream of money, maybe occasionally commissioning an adaptation of something if I really like it and feel the whim to. Again, I rarely read manga/LNs, so it’d be more along the lines of video games or novels I enjoy, most likely. I can’t think of any novels I’d like to see animefied off the top of my head (however good they may be, I can’t personally see them working in an anime style), but I’m playing through the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles at the moment, and it’s definitely something I could see myself watching as a series, even though I know the actual Ace Attorney adaptation wasn’t really well-received.

primary goal: bring violence and gore back.
secondary goal: shared setting. create a fictional city, add new districts when needed.
general art direction: no gradient shading allowed, all cg will be traced.
every show will be creator driven. anyone can hop in, granted the idea is feasible.
we start with adapting what's left of hsotd.
then make a howling moon ova series.
reboot triage x.
akumetsu next.
hire obari, and takahiro kimura. let toshiki hirano direct a proper iczer sequel.
let go nagai do absolutely anything he wants.

If I'd have the money and funds I'd make a studio that specialice on young animator students. I'd like to bring light and and make students' short films more available to the masses than they currently are.

Other option as some users went that road I'd animate my own story. i have a few in store I wriite time to time. I still believe you could make 12 episode long show of my story that involves this chick who goes around the World killing her clones to get her identity fully back to herself. First clone getting killed is this one sex worker living in Bangkok. Ending has a twist but that's all I'm gonna say.

Yomei Ikkagetsu no Hanayome (just bought the manga yesterday, haven't read it yet but I've watched the original documentary)
Asa Okitara Tsuma ni natte Ninshin shite ita Ore no Report (it also has an ongoing spin-off which is pretty interesting)
Adapt all 8 volumes of Naisho no Tsubomi and hope that it doesn't attract weirdos due to the nature of its contents

I always wanted these kind of anime but I doubt they will sell though and I might end up having to follow the footsteps of Tear Studio

I'd love to make trippy edgy stuff like in the style of Redline,Deadleaves,Mekakucity actors,Zaregato and Hells Angels so a good amount of original content like studio trigger. And for adaptation wise well Kaori Yuki and Ai Yazawa have a good amount of work to be fully adapted so i would go for that as well. And i'd go for an concept artist role or script writer role for my own studio. I'd probably suck at being a director so i'll pass on that.

No way a xenogears adaptation can work unless its 600 episodes with the amount of story thats in it so jrpg wise if TWEWY was adapted by me you know it would not have been the big fucking yikes adaptation that it came out to be and well a parasite eve anime adaptation in ova format i think would be interesting to work with.

Well for collabs aside from you, i would go with my fellow visual kei buddy and s.o.s brigade member Metropyramid for something gothic broody and mysterious. And also of course the bishies how can we forget? And also throw in rapcore and nu metal stuff in the soundtrack stuff like orca force and rize a couple of my favorite Japanese rapcores for example.

I have a resoultion to follow so i obviously wouldn't be doing any collabs with mal forum regulars especially f.g or c.e types since nothing but cancerous drama shit comes out from them so not at all one single bit.

And anyways! great threads as always and thanx a bunch for making them! ^___^

I like how tacked on Shaft feels in that picture.

Ghibli: OSCAR NOMINATED LEGENDARY STUDIO.

Sunrise: REVOLUTIONIZED AN ENTIRE GENRE.

Shaft: They're...uh, unique!

Christ almighty you can smell a Monogatari fan trying to hamfist their series as a legendary great from a good few kilometers away. QUICKLY COME UP WITH SOMETHING SO WE CAN PUT THE STUDIO THAT MADE MONOGATARI UP THERE WITH THE LEGENDS.

--------

Anyway, ecchi. It goes without saying that it's what I'd try to have my studio specialize in. I'd be down for adapting a diverse spectrum of works from the genre rather than getting needlessly specialized, but if someone said they liked DxD more than To LOVE-Ru then they're not worth hiring :^)

My studio would only exist to adapt Berserk with accuracy and great animation (no CGI). It would be the equivalent of David Production to the Jojo series.

Gonna sound kinda stupid, but I've had an interesting anime idea in my head for a while and I wouldn't be sure how to go about it.

It portrays itself as a cute anime where there's nothing going on (just a buncha high-schoolers going through life), kinda like K-ON, or something else in that league. Where they're all just really cute! Through the show, though, you kinda start to notice something's a little bit off. One friend seems to just kinda go on vacation for a while but comes back, and it's assumed she's on vacation or whatever by the rest of the group, sometimes the TV in the background shows police cars, but the camera never really focuses on it, a newspaper has an odd headline about like, people missing or whatever, etc.

Essentially, the creepy things are never focused on.

You find out, like, in the last three episodes or something, that that one friend that keeps on disappearing and coming back is like...a serial killer or something.

You know, a total swap. I want to pull the Doki Doki Literature Club on people, basically. They go in expecting something and then it just absolutely smacks everyone with something dark. People would talk about it, it would get conversation about it, and it would take a while to get to it so they gotta keep watching to see what's gonna happen.

No lie, this concept is something I’ve always really wanted to see done in a show. Not exactly as you described, as I more so thought of a scenario where one of the characters was killed or kidnapped, but I like your idea of a character actually being a killer much more. It sounds incredibly uncanny, in a good way, and I’d like to see how a formerly-saccharine show transitions into handling the psychological consequences of finding out, hey, that girl you drink tea and crack jokes with all the time? Yeah, she kills people. For fun.

I get why stuff like this is rarely written, because you risk alienating people who just want moe hijinks, while not having much draw to pull in people who would actually be interested in the dark parts. Still, I’d personally love to see it.

Before I get into this, first I have to say: WOW! OP, this thread is awesome! You went so in depth to what you'd do in this hypothetical scenario and what you'd make, you put much effort into this, this is an amazing post!


My Main Goal

I want to focus my studio on mature, adult content (like seinen), except the "mature, adult content" is really referring to violent, gory stuff like Ichi The Killer and Gantz. I've always had a fascination and deep interest for stories with a dark and somewhat edgy feel to them, coupled with mature and disturbing themes with gory imagery. I also have my eyes set on adapting old manga that never got adaptations and I feel they deserve them, specifically Grappler Baki, and also re-adapting old anime that never adapted the whole story of the source material, or at the very least give them a continuation. Claymore, Rurouni Kenshin, Space Brothers, Elfen Lied, Nichijou, Somali & The Forest Spirit, and one that I would really like to see an adaptation of is the manga Battle Royale.

I also want to reboot series that received an unfaithful or bad adaptation, such as Pupa, Ichi The Killer: Episode 0, The God of High School, Tower of God, Tokyo Ghoul, Umineko, Berserk 2016, King's Game, and Ex-Arm. I would also like to recreate failed stories such as Gibiate, which I finished recently and thought it would be cool to recreate it to make it better. I was also thinking about Calamity of the Zombie Girl, as well as tons of anime from the 80's and 90's like Battle Royal High School. Wouldn't it be cool to see these titles get revamped?

Ichi The Killer and Gantz are the ones I would adapt first. I know Gantz already has an adaptation, but there's still a ton of source material left to adapt and to be honest, I feel like the gore in the anime was toned down a notch and not as detailed or well drawn as it is in the manga. It's understandable as the manga has incredibly detailed art that would be difficult to bring to life in animation while still retaining its quality, though. Many of the action scenes still look very nice though. Ichi The Killer has 2 movie adaptations that are really good, but it's anime adaptation of the prequel is a steaming pile of laughable and very entertaining garbage, meanwhile the main series doesn't have an animated version, and it probably never will due to its graphic and explicit content. With my new studio established, I'll gift these and many other stories an anime adaptation!

And you know what? I'm not gonna limit it to just anime, I'd make hentai as well! Specifically adapting guro titles so there can be more infamously extreme stuff out there for the purpose of shocking people (Euphoria and Emergence/Metamorphosis are infamous for being extreme). My studio is gonna do horribly financially isn't it LOL

Anyways, my other focus would be quality above quantity. With this, I would like my studio to be large, though not as large something like Toei Animation per se. So around 200 people, but only one or two anime are released in a single year, with maybe a few OVA's here and there. So everyone focuses on just one or two products and since there's tons of employees, it reduces the stress and workload greatly, while still allowing for high production value and high quality animation.


Other

As for openings and endings, I've always wanted to see an opening that used the song in its entirety or 2 minutes and 30 seconds like One Piece. Endings may have to be sacrificed though. So this will only ever be done with a long series, which I actually plan to make (in comic form, and if possible, manga form. This is my ultimate goal in life). It would also be cool to have more unique songs used for openings and stuff. Like imagine Pierce the Veil or 30 Seconds to Mars or Camellia being used in an opening or ending. That would be sick! Or Nanahira!

Anyways, I don't really have much else to say.

Wow! That's one cool thread you made there :D

What kind of anime i'd like to make?
My brain's like constantly making up crazy stories, so i guess i'd try to give those an anime adaptation!
As for the tone, it'd probably be a darker tone, focusing a lot on the psychological aspect of the story, but not without it's lighthearted fun moments

My anime would also be more targeted towards shounen than shoujo, as oppposite to you i've always been more drawn to shounen anime while being quite picky when it comes to shoujo anime

Then there's also some manga i really want anime adaptations of, Real Account, Zom 100, Nyankees, and i'd give Zatch Bell the Brotherhood treatment as the anime never fully adapted the manga, i would also like a full anime series adaptation of Code Geass: Akito The Exiled as i don't think the movie format did the story justice, there were so many elements to be explored that were just glossed over 'cause of lack of time, and i so depretely want a Digimon Frontier sequel!!

If we made an anime studio toghether you could be in charge of the shoujo section and i'd be in charge of the shounen section and then we could make shoujo/shounen crossovers :D
I mean i'd watch a Pretty Cure x Dragon Ball crossover

And of course there's an endless amount of genres to explore :)
What debating with DigiCat is like according to APolygons2
That's why I thought a discussion would be pointless. It doesn't feel like a debate. It feels like I'm playing chess and somehow lose to an uno reverse card after loosing all my monopoly money lol

I'd continue the WMT theater series. I'd contact Astrid Lindgren foundation and make a proper adaptation out of Pippi Longstocking, without the complaints she had in the 70s

I'd adapt other books too for kids, both new and old.

50 episodes minimum. Series based on real characters.

a side series could include fantasy novels too.

I'd also expand it to Adult Masterpiece Theater. Adaptations of adult novels , 50 episode length.

no anime character tropes. as realistic as possible.
Ah, so you'd like to be the spiritual successor to all those World Masterpiece Theater creators? Sounds interesting and very much like you ^_^

. . . I’d like to try to write an original story of my own and have it produced as an anime. I can say I have zero experience with writing a story; fantasizing about writing a story, I’m a seasoned veteran at, but I’ve never actually put one to paper, so I imagine the result would be… questionable, but it would still be incredibly fun to try knowing I’d be able to see the result in animated form, the way I picture it in my head. I’d like to try doing a shoujo-ai, historical fantasy, or spy story.
Maybe you should start writing some little one-shots in your free time! I'm definitely working on that this year for sure.

. . . I’m playing through the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles at the moment, and it’s definitely something I could see myself watching as a series, even though I know the actual Ace Attorney adaptation wasn’t really well-received.
Yeah, the Ace Attorney anime wasn't that great and doesn't hold much of a candle to the original games. The filler episodes were interestingly enough the only good parts from what I remember.

secondary goal: shared setting. create a fictional city, add new districts when needed.

every show will be creator driven. anyone can hop in, granted the idea is feasible.
Huh? As in like a shared universe between projects? Creator-driven sounds potentially fun though.

let go nagai do absolutely anything he wants.

Your studio has my approval. 👍👍
Honestly, with how influential his works have been, I'm surprised Go Nagai hasn't formed his own anime studio yet.

If I'd have the money and funds I'd make a studio that specialice on young animator students. I'd like to bring light and and make students' short films more available to the masses than they currently are.
That'd be awesome!! Everyone needs to start from somewhere, and that kind of spotlight could make for a good start.

not exactly shared, the best example would be tokusatsu. they film at the same locations, so you see the same places in multiple shows, just used in a different way. or how often you see the shibuya crossing in anime. it could lead to some nice easter eggs.
